FIRST THANKSGIVING COLLEGE FOOTBALL

How the First Thanksgiving College Football Game Kicked Off a Holiday Tradition | HISTORY

On November 30, 1876, Yale defeated Princeton, 2-0, in
Hoboken, New Jersey in the
first collegiate football game
played on
Thanksgiving. Nearly 1,000 fans attend the
game, played in cold, rainy weather.


The football was oval and made of leather, the New York
Times noted, "similar to those used in Rugby Union rules."

The game resembled rugby more than a present-day football
game.

Samuel Langhorne Clemens, later known as Mark Twain,
was born
in Florida, Missouri, on November 30, 1835.

Clemens was apprenticed to a printer at age 13 and later
worked for his older brother, who established the Hannibal
Journal. In 1857, the Keokuk Daily Post commissioned him
to write a series of comic travel letters, but after writing five
he decided to become a steamboat captain instead.

He signed on as a pilot’s apprentice in 1857 and received
his pilot’s license in 1859, when he was 23.
